According to the Laravel's Source Code, both the validations have the following logic.

// For rule 'integer'
protected function validateInteger($attribute, $value)
{
    return filter_var($value, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT) !== false;
}

// For rule 'numeric'
protected function validateNumeric($attribute, $value)
{
    return is_numeric($value);
}

Integer is like a whole number without fraction: 2, 256, 2048.

http://php.net/manual/en/function.is-int.php

Numeric is any number including floating point numbers: 2.478, +0123.45e6
